Thursday

Day One: Welcome to Space!

Made in Space didn’t start slowly, as audiences got to grips with some of the key themes, including co-creation, co-living and open making. Among the highlights of day one were appearances by renowned artists and intellectuals like Indy Johar, Anton & Irene and Tomas Diez.

Thursday also saw the launch of SPACE10’s new magazine IMAGINE, which took place in the temporary space CLOUD9. In the evening, IRAH gave a beautiful live performance, and rRoxymore threw 4/4s in the Garage. Quite the start!

Day Two: Alternative Food, AI, Smart Cities – and Plenty of Wine

Friday saw thought-provoking discussions about the future of food and the emergence of artificial intelligence, plus Liam Young’s audio-visual talk about the future of Smart Cities, which drew a big crowd at the S/H Theatre.

In the evening, guests gathered at CLOUD9 for a delicious biodynamic dinner, including plenty of natural wine, courtesy of Rosforth & Rosforth, while the talented musicians Coco O. and August Rosenbaum gave an unforgettable performance live on stage.

Day Three: Future Cities, Open-Source Housing – and a Plant Dance

Made in Space ended with even more appearances by great speakers. Carlo Ratti gave an inspirational and much-anticipated talk about his work at MIT’s Senseable City Lab, Dr. Leyla Acaroglu discussed the link between design and sustainability, and Alastair Parvin explored open-source building and the democratisation of housing.

At night, the after-party exploded into a communal plant dance – the details of which you’ll have to wait to see!
